A Translation...

Voila

Listen to me
Me, the half-singer
Talk about me
To your loves, to your friends
Tell them about this black eyed girl
And of his mad dream
Me, what I want is to write stories
Who reach you
That's it

Here, here, here
This is who I'm
Here I'm even though
Exposed, I'm afraid, yes
Here I'm in the noise
And in the silence

Good song. Worst band live I've maybe ever seen that's famous. Scott was a hot mess. Band sounded like shit. He couldn't sing or function. Was kind of sad. This was a race track type festival and it was daytime. He was fucking trashed and I think the band as a whole was. Too bad. It's why I dislike studio music. Easily faked especially in the last 20 years.

Bummer! Well, I guess I don’t have to regret not seeing them live then. Slick studio production, though. My go to music when I am running.

It was. That was the band me and my buddies wanted to see. They opened for Metallica and Bob Dylan. Weird show. Complete let down. We met Scott at another show South of Chicago. Another let down. He was nice though, just fucked up.

As you said, good studio work when they could keep him sober(ish). Having recorded myself I give more credit to the producer(s) for making their albums work. STP was a shit faced band.

Wow. What a petrified fossil boneyard of music.
It's like they say, no matter what you are listening to, you always wind up back at the 70's.
